The McCain Ranch

"Welcome to the McCain Ranch.....home of the TV Westerns"

There is always a lesson to learn when you watch “The Rifleman.” There is no better teacher for Mark than his father, Lucas McCain. Lucas teaches Mark from “The Bible” and from experience. Sometimes the lessons are hard ones and at times rather easy ones. They are still lessons learned! Let’s discuss the lessons learned in each episode. “Every lesson you learn makes you a better partner.” “Just remember the lessons!”

In the Sheridan story, Lucas tells Mark they are worse off than blyden because they cannot stand to look at him. Hopefully, Lucas talks of his own thirst for vengeance when Mark was hurt in trail of hate, the consequences of impulsiveness, and mixing having somebody else's back with getting back at someone.
